In this location, you have the seed of Roger Pine Ridge visit already concluded [Watersville + Barrett], surrounding future synch boy [Daniel + Day]. This could have to do with Blood Dr., and its opposite, Dr. Blood. Where is the good doctor?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka. Looking then at all the Winfields and you get variant Wickes, with an additional variant there of Sherwood. Let’s take a look at that.

—–

bb:

Interesting name of Rapture there too, Hucka D. Hucka?

Hucka D.:

Here. With my morning beer.

bb:

Great. Thanks for waking up so early.

Hucka D.:

Eeh. I could tell you’re having a hard morning in your special magic land[ Blue Mtn.!].

bb:

Thanks again. So I’m going to massage that data some more.

“First off, Hucka D., there’s this tiny place called Bloom just north by northeast of Winfield in Carroll County, Maryland, the one already identified as next to Legos Choice which brings up an assoc. with Winfield, Kansas in Cowley County there.”

Hucka D.:

Correct. When you looked up Bloom, Chicago Heights came up as a variant name in a rather short list. Cool! Wonder who did that (snickers)?

bb:

Yeah, and in researching our magical book came up with this yesterday… called the first successful adaptation of the book.

The first European settler in the area was Absalom Wells in 1833. He built a log cabin where the Vincennes Trail crossed Thorn Creek, but then moved farther west to where Chicago Road is now. The first permanent settlers were Adam and Phoebe Brown who built an inn at the intersection of Sauk Trail and the Vincennes Trace. In 1835, a large group from Ireland arrived. At this time, the town was known as Thorn Grove.

The first school was built in 1836. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of Thorn Grove was formed in December 1843. The Batchhelder and McCoy homes in Thorn Grove were stops on the Underground Railroad. The first railroad arrived in 1853. The village was renamed Bloom. It was then renamed again in 1892 to Chicago Heights and incorporated as a village. In 1897, the village had twenty factories. By 1901, Chicago Heights had a population of over 5,000 and became a city. Its population nearly tripled in the next ten years.

bb:

I like the Coors and Budweiser signs right next to the signs for the church. I think that might be a collage base, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Nice. I have a Coors right now in my hand. And after that I’ll reach into the fridge for a budweiser. Coincidence? I think not!

bb:

That’s great, Hucka D. I guess you’re allowed to drink since I got you up so early to help me with this particular post.

Hucka D.”

Yes (*hiccups*).

“Let’s then take the first character mentioned in this book. Wing.”

Hucka D.:

Wick(e)s again. Thought I’d say it for you. So is all of Collagesity now going to revolve around this confusing bunch of map stuff?

bb:

Could be, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

What do the Wick(e)s mean? (snickers again)

bb:

Dis-legomenon again, Hucka D., as it turned out. Two “wicks” in the magic book.

That’s Wicke/, but that applies more. Lots of stuff connected to that Wicker in Miss., Hucka D. Burns. Lemon. Obvious reference to Lemon of Troy and following Who Shot Mr. Burns. And there’s even the revelation about who shot him (!).

As a tigress whose cub had been
threatened would she appear, coming out of the shadows,
stealing noiselessly along and holding the long wicked
scissors in her hand.

Also he had a long
yellow mustache that dropped down over his teeth, and
always carried a heavy, wicked-looking walking stick in
his hand.

“Try it youself at home.”

Hucka D.:

Might as well give them the other one.

bb:

Stand back.

With a kind of wriggle, like a fish
returned to the brook by the fisherman, Biddlebaum the
silent began to talk, striving to put into words the
ideas that had been accumulated by his mind during long
years of silence.

Then he said that she was
a wind, a strong terrible wind, coming out of the
darkness of a stormy sea and that he was a boat left on
the shore of the sea by a fisherman.

Hucka D.:

*There*. That wasn’t so hard (!).

bb:

No.

Hucka D.:

And now the other one or two of your readers will know the magic book and the top part of its secrets. They’re even with you — us — now. Return to Sam Parr State Park Lake.

bb:

Okay, in a minute. And just following up on the above, see that scissors is another one of of those two-fers.

Going to a cloth bag that hung on a
nail by the wall she took out a long pair of sewing
scissors and held them in her hand like a dagger.

As a tigress whose cub had been
threatened would she appear, coming out of the shadows,
stealing noiselessly along and holding the long wicked
scissors in her hand.

Hucka D.:

We’ve seen her name before. Can you check for me? We’ll put the lake to one side for now… progressing…

bb:

Could be connected to Elizabeth next to Norfolk Lake in Ark. and its Hand. Elizabeth holds the [sewing] scissors in her hand, like a dagger. long wicked scissors.

Hucka D.:

Not the one I was thinking about, though.

bb:

No.

Hucka D.:

But it is near Heart[ Arkansas] as well.

bb:

Yes.

—–

bb:

Well, not finding it.

—–

“Don’t [put] Run with Scissors, I suppose. I remember that before through Donna.”

Hucka D.:

A Candidate could run with scissors and have no fear.

bb: (checking)

Only Run, Hucka D.

—-

No Paper, Hucka D., per se. Lots of Rocks, including one in Cowley County, Kansas near Winfield. But we do have the story Paper Pills within.

bb:

Mother, the third, contains the 2 scissors I see. She doesn’t run with them. 2nd story [] is about paper. First story must be about Rock, then.

Hucka D.:

You better end.

bb:

Thanks.

(to be continued)

more map stuff 03

“Bizarre, Hucka D. Atlanta is Baltimore[ in Cowley County]! This indicates sister and before that brother.”

Hucka D.:

Obviously (!)

bb:

I think of Atlanta also in Nebraska, the state above this, and the relationship with Sacramento, as in Carter to Reagan.

Hucka D.:

Okay good.

bb:

That indicates a democrat and a republican that cancel each other out, causing neutrality. Which paves the wave for Norris. George Norris.

Hucka D.:

Don’t go in that direction quite yet. But: yes.

bb:

“Plains to see,” I suppose you could add there.

Hucka D.:

Sure.

bb:

So what is Cowley County? Wilmot is a Hapax_legomenon.

Hucka D.:

Anagram. tom-wil-ard.

bb:

But that’s from the *last* story of the collection. Our “Rock” is the first. But Rock and Wilmot here [in Kansas] are very close.

Hucka D.:

Very.

bb:

Now the *bridge* here is obviously Cowley. He wrote the introduction to the book in the its most definitive version. And that’s also the name of a character in the book, although probably no relation to the other.

Hucka D. (repeating):

Bridge.

bb:

Oxford again. West by southwest. Hold on!

—–

“Gist[, Maryland] may stand for druggist.”

bb:

Republican, Hucka D…

… then Sherwood[ edited]…

Hucka D.:

Faulkner is off limits now, even though he’s the stronger. Beyond Herbert’s Domain, ya know.

The 9/11 Commission later reported that the plane’s control wheel was turned hard to the right, causing it to roll on its back plow into an empty field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 580 miles an hour, killing everyone on board. The plane was twenty minutes of flying time away from its suspected target, the White House or the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. According to Vice President Dick Cheney, President George W. Bush had given the order to shoot the plane down had it continued its path to Washington.

“Beam/… hmm, where have we seen this before?”

“Darkest before the dawn, I guess, Hucka D. Then sunbeams arrive. All is better. Lightsville.”

Stewart Lee Udall : Son of Levi S. Udall, served as a Democratic U.S. Representative from Arizona (1955–1961) and also as Secretary of the Interior (1961–1969). Point Udall, U.S. Virgin Islands, the easternmost point in the United States, is named in his honor.

Morris King “Mo” Udall : Stewart’s brother, also served as a Democratic U.S. Representative from Arizona (1961–1991) and ran for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1976. Point Udall, Guam, the westernmost point in the United States, is named in his honor.

In 1976, he ran for the Democratic nomination for President as a liberal alternative to Jimmy Carter, the former Governor of Georgia. Carter had gone from obscure maverick to front runner after a string of early caucus and primary victories, beginning in Iowa and New Hampshire. At the time of the Wisconsin primary in April, most of the original 10 candidates had dropped out, leaving Udall, Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson of Washington, Governor George Wallace of Alabama, and Carter. Udall looked set to win the primary and as the returns ticked in, it looked like he would win it. This might have slowed down the Carter momentum. Udall was projected the winner, exclaiming “Oh, how sweet it is”. But as the election night progressed, Carter began chipping away at Udall’s lead, eventually going into the lead.

Some newspapers actually proclaimed Udall the winner because of his lead the night before, not unlike the famous incident in the 1948 presidential election, in which the headlines of the Chicago Tribune erroneously proclaimed “Dewey Defeats Truman.”

Thorn Grove now. It just goes on and on. Wish I could share it with Hucka D., but he had to go to bed and get some well deserved sleep. Thorn Grove points out Chicago Heights (only 1 in US) points out, obviously, the Magic Book. And the other Thorn Grove in Tenn. is right next to Carter and Mascot, like Carter and Mascot are together in Harlan County, Nebraska with the Republican, Ragan, (Atlanta, Sacramento). I now think Udall in Kansas and this Carter (unlisted) in Nebraska relate through the false winning headlines, once more. Pretty sure of that. But why?
